Telemedicine… By: Yasmine Ghattas

Why Telemedicine? I do volunteer work at hospitals. Doctors check patients’ blood pressure, listen to their heart and lungs and check all their vital signs - all from miles away.

Outline… What is Telemedicine? Types of Technology Used. What is Store and Forward? What about IATV? Applications… Any Barriers? To Sum it All Up! References.

What is Telemedicine? It is the use of telecommunications to provide medical information and services. It is when health professionals discuss a case over the telephone. It is using satellite technology to broadcast a consultation between providers in two countries.

Example…

Types of Technology Used. There are two types of technology used in Telemedicine. The first technology is called Store and Forward. The second one is known as the two-way interactive television (IATV).

What is Store and Forward? It is used for transferring digital images from one location to another. It is typically used for non-emergencies. It is the most common application of telemedicine in use today.

What about IATV? It is used when a 'face-to-face' consultation is necessary. It is usually between the patient in one location and a specialist in another location. It has decreased in price and complexity over the past five years.

Applications… Telemedicine technology has been used for: In school health services by allowing school nurses to consult with physicians. Mental health care to patients in rural jails. Oncology Hospice care.

Any Barriers? Many states will not allow out-of-state physicians to practice unless licensed in their state. Many private insurers refuse to reimburse for telemedicine consults. Fear of malpractice due to lack of lack of 'hands-on' interaction with patients.

To Sum it All Up! Telemedicine is a new way for specialists to interact with patients on a daily basis. Telemedicine requires no travel. Telemedicine can be done at any time. Telemedicine might encourage education or training for isolated or rural health practitioners. Telemedicine still has a long way to go.
